| As you can see, the rubber is smooth and appears to be seamless all the way around the drive. This makes the drive feel like a quality piece of hardware. |

When retracted, the USB portion of the drive tucks well behind the rubber of the body of the drive. The only downside of this is the ability of water, lint, and dirt to get into the port and hinder the drives ability to function. |
Didn’t you write about a Quad-channel USB 3.0 drive a few weeks ago?
Here is its. It was the Express drive.

Not only is this drive much much faster, even in a USB 2.0 port, but it is CHEAPER and arguably better looking too. And when I finally get that machine wiht a USB 3.0 port, I am going to be in nerd heaven.
Peterc,
That is correct. The Super Talent drive reviewed by Matt Homan is faster. That is not surprising, as it is a newer technology. I’d assume many people know the name Patriot a little better and would rank their products a little higher. This would be why you are paying for the name “Patriot” a little more. The Xporter series is designed with an active lifestyle in mind. While the Super Talent drive appears nicer, if you looked at the two side by side, you can tell this to be true.
I live in nerd heaven, so anytime you’re in town, stop by…we can play some TF2 or MW2…
